[Recurring vertigo]

Abstract

We report the case of a young patient who was seen at the outpatient clinic for recurring vertigo. The diagnosis was vestibular migraine. Considering the long delay between the onset of symptoms and the definite diagnosis, we found it appropriate to review the diagnostic workup in such cases which is multidisciplinary, implying otologists, ophtalmologists and neurologists.We take also the opportunity to review the diagnosis and treatment of less known, more recently described disorders such as vestibular migraine, perilymph fistula, vestibular paroxysmia and bilateral vestibulopathy.
